any guess ? when you divide by a fraction, you "flip it" and multiply

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i know but i can cancel the x's out and be left with the rest or should i just multiply straight through

OpenStudy (phi):

you can "cancel" the x's but to be totally correct, you should add x≠0 (because if x were 0 in the original problem we would be dividing 0/0 which is undefined.
